CAPITOL PIAZZA

MARIMEKKO

This is a Finnish label renowned for its original prints and colours. On sale are high-quality home products ranging from furnishing fabrics to tableware as well as clothes, bags and accessories. A first in Singapore, Marimekko will be housed in a 2,500 sq ft flagship store.

NAPAPIJRI

Meghan wearing “Unikko” black printed blouse and holding tableware. All from Marimekko.

Michal wearing woven blazer over khaki shirt, scarf and cotton trousers. Bianca wearing trench jacket over sleeveless blouse and cotton shorts. All from Napapijri.

The brand started in 1987, when an Italian manufacturer of travel bags introduced a new meaning to outdoor apparel by combining innovative materials with close attention to style and detail. This Spring, the menswear collection draws inspiration from "Out on the open road", where the protagonist lives a nomadic existence. The women's wear is influenced by the easy chic and dynamic character of a modern traveller. The pieces are rich in colours and alluring patterns.

ROBINSONS THE HEEREN

Michal wearing embroidered motif zipper jacket over printed shirt and printed trousers from Paul & Joe. Blue tilapia leather sneakers from Veja. Bianca wearing printed pattern long dress from Bakker Made with Love. Sneakers from Jil Sander Navy.

PAUL & JOE HOMME

Think impeccably cut jackets in very fine tweed, a printed shirt for a touch of originality, and a seemingly classic pullover. This place has the right ingredients to boost your personal style.

VEJA

Though this branded footwear is not new here, it is now introducing tilapia fish skin leather, the latest technological innovation. The tilapia is a tropical fish that has fine scales and produces a strong yet subtle and elegant leather. Nine tilapia skins are needed to make a pair of sneakers so the assemblage is always unique.

BAKKER MADE WITH LOVE

This line is known for its unique patterns and prints in brightly coloured trousers, sweaters and dresses for kids - but now they are available in adult sizes.

JIL SANDER NAVY

Combining radical femininity with natural ease, its clothes give a relaxed feel in a casual yet classy signature of Jil Sander.

TAKASHIMAYA LEVEL 3

AMERICAN VINTAGE

Fans can look forward to stocking up their wardrobe with the French brand's new S/S 2015 collection, best-selling MAS Supima Basic and JAC collection T-shirts. The current season reflects the girl power of the 1990s. It is all about extreme volume contrasts exuding a chic and contemporary, fresh and energetic look. As for the menswear, it is a delightful collection of unlikely matching clothes at the newly opened 1,000 sq ft flagship store in the heart of Orchard Road.

CASTANER

Wedged espadrilles for women with espadrilles for men and tote bag. All from Castaner.

Its popular espadrilles have turned into sophisticated footwear. The current collection is inspired by 50s swimwear and the colours range from the pale and natural shades of pink, sand or taupe to the deep purity of navy, red and white.
